A must-have for heavy rhythm players. This has replaced a super-Strat (that cost over twice as much) as my main instrument for punk and metal. They could charge double the cost for this instrument and I would still buy one. The pickups carry a lot of punch and work very well with my Marshall DSL and Peavey 6505. The neck pickup is also surprisingly rich and clean going into a Vox AC15 and Fender Twin, although some players may find the lack of a tone knob discomforting.
The only drawback for me is that there was a slight blemish on the neck and headstock finishing.

A pretty great guitar with a minimalistic touch
Koki, the shredder-wannabe from Zagreb 12.10.2024
For 20 years I hated the floyd rose with regards to tuning and the volume knob that gets in the way of playing. I frankly don't know why I suffered for this long.
After purchasing this guitar, my playing technique got way better and I can shred cleaner because of the right hand position that comes to me more naturally at an angle with straight fingers, which I can now do due to the lack of the damned knob in the vicinity of the bridge pickup. A real relief, I must say. The sound is quite good, though I could wish for more sustain. The guitar is also quite light compared to other guitars I played, which is a plus for playing for hours while standing, although I must say it does have a bit of a neck dive. And due to this lightness, it may kind of wobble if you are playing aggressively, but nothing that you can't handle with a bit of more focus. Easily accessible thrust rod adjustment near the neck pickup is such a great feature! These are my first locking tuners on a guitar, and I am pretty satisfied, though the guitar doesn't hold tuning that perfect it holds it good enough. I use 56/11 strings in standard D tuning. Still haven't used it live, though. The looks are fu**ing amazing, I love it! Plain and simple, no bullshit stuff, although the paintjob is kind of cheap. My first impression was a bit disappointing, but after playing it for a month or so, now I think the guitar rocks! I will not buy other guitar any time soon, and this one is definitely worth the purchase, though it could be somewhat lower in price in my opinion. I don't care that it is a signature guitar.
Overall, having in mind that no guitar will ever be perfect, and if you can live with some of the cons (which you might not find as cons), I do recommend the purchase. :)

Good guitar
olha_gri 02.08.2023
I bought this guitar more than one year ago and this is what I can tell you after playing it almost every day during that year:
The guitar sounds very good, it's suitable for metal. So if you want a heavy and fat sound it's for you. Idk what else to say about advantages, but basically I like it very much, and don't regret about this purchasement.
However there are some disadvantages and they are related to the quality of assembly:
1. After about 9 month the volume potentiometer died.. it started to crunch and I even couldn't disable the volume... so I have to buy a new one and to change it.
2. One of the locking washer on the bridge that is used for adjust the scale length somehow felt down and got lost, so I had to but a new one and change it as well..
3. and there are some minor visualisation things, like paint drip, but they are not well visible, so I don't think it matters a lot.

Great vfm guitar but...
dim stel 15.04.2021
purchased this guitar about a month ago, really suprised with charvel's features (compound radius, neck graphite reinforcements, locking tuners, great sounding bridge PU although is a duncan designed ) in a 500 euro guitar. But when I played open strings (B,D,A) , there was a strange metal buzz/rattle (not fret buzz , I checked it).Turned out to be the nut (cheapish- generic material from the factory) that caused all this horrible noise (note: I play with daddario xl 11 to 49) ... So strongly recommend swapping this out for a tusq xl one from graph tech
